Captain Marvel Has Been Announced as the Next ‘Face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’

Disney has been previewing its upcoming slate of movies at CineEurope this week, and Marvel Studios made an appearance to talk up Avengers 4 and say a few choice things about Captain Marvel.

Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, appeared alongside a new sizzle reel for Captain Marvel starring Brie Larsen, which articulated that “she will be the next face and leader of the Marvel Cinematic Universe heading into Phase Four.”

What does this mean for Iron Man? We’re not sure, but it’s a good bet that the events of Captain Marvel will have a direct impact on the events of Avengers 4. The former is set to release March 8, 2019, and the latter will follow on May 3, 2019.
